We've had a nice relaxing couple of days since I last wrote here, we've sat around the pool drinking cocktails. We've been out shopping in Chaweng. We've even had joint mani/pedis! Not much has really changed over the last few days except we turned red yesterday after not putting on sunscreen before reading our books outside. We also went to an American place for lunch in Chaweng and lived out our Man vs Food fantasies by having chilli cheese fries, buffalo wings...

Just thought I'd add a new entry into this blog for posterity. Sally and I arrived two days ago via Kuala Lumpur (we were only there a few hours) tired and hot. We got to reception fairly early and found that our room wouldn't be ready until 2 so we would need to kill around 3 and a half hours before we could get into it.

We have been winding down the past day or so just swimming and lazing around watching telly and the...

We thought it would be good to see the wax museum (not Madame Tussaud's) but it turns out the place is closed for a week to refurbish. Then we thought it would be good to see the catacombs but the line to get in was at least an hour or so long so we skipped t...

Sorry all, has been a hectic couple of days. Yesterday we wet to the Invalides which is the war museum for France ad where Napoleon is buried. The war museum was lacking compared to the British one but was still informative. Napoleons tomb was much more impressive, there is a giant golden dome on the top of it from the outside and inside after you walk past the guilded doors you have a one story have a balcony that runs around the middle of the building that has ...
